Howie Mandel was involved in an awkward exchange with his daughter Jackelyn Shultz on their podcast Tuesday, amid a crass comedic reference to his sexual habits.
The entertainer, 70, and his daughter Shultz, 41, welcomed social media star Camilla Araujo, 24, on the podcast Howie Mandel Does Stuff, where the topic took a tawdry turn after Mandel brought up massage parlors.
Mandel then launched into what appeared to be a comedic bit on sexual favors, claiming he spent $25 for a female masseur to engage in acts of masturbation with him.
‘The truth is – I got so embarrassed the last time – I have this lady that gives me tuggies, I pay, it’s like $25 and I get h***jobs,’ Mandel joked.
A seemingly-frustrated Shultz asked Araujo, ‘Do have these conversations with your father, too?’ to which the content creator responded, ‘So that’s what I was really wanting to get into here.’
After the Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Mandel for further comment, they sent back a tongue-in-cheek picture of Mandel posed with his longtime spouse Terry Mandel. In the shot, Howie pointed to his wife, who wore a glove and held up $25 in cash, suggesting the bit was part of a running joke.

Mandel began speaking on the topic again on the podcast, saying that he ‘asked the masseur for a massage after she finished’ and she looked at him as if to say, ‘Get the f*** out of here.’
‘Oh, so you don’t even get, like, a rubdown?’ Araujo asked Mandel, who then complained about the lack of a full body massage.
Mandel said, ‘Give me a massage, give me something,’ to which Araujo said he appeared to have things out of order.
‘It usually starts [with a] massage, and that’s why it’s called a happy ending – not a happy beginning,’ Araujo said.
Mandel replied, ‘Don’t you think it would be happy if she just loosened my shoulders or gave me a little … go ahead, you want to talk to my daughter?’
Araujo told Shultz, ‘Go ahead, I’d love to hear your thoughts,’ to which Shultz replied, ‘I don’t have any thoughts on this.
‘I’m always so uncomfortable when you make these jokes – this is not like a father-daughter conversation usually, right?’
Shultz asked Araujo, ‘Would you have these conversations with your dad?’ but the influencer said she didn’t want to get involved in the discussion.

Should parents ever joke about their sex lives with their adult children, or is that crossing a line?
Shultz then asked, ‘Is that considered cheating if you have a significant other? A happy ending from a massage parlor? Like, would mom be upset?’
Araujo noted that Mandel was ‘actively married,’ which the America’s Got Talent personality acknowledged.
Mandel said he’s been married ‘for, like, 48 years,’ as he has been wed to wife Terry since March of 1980.
The discussion then turned to the terminology, as the group turned to the website Urban Dictionary to clarify the proper terminology for the phrase ‘tuggy.’
